Time Out Chicago / Issue 166 : May 1–7, 2008

You’d have to be living under a rock to miss the frozen-yogurt trend. Here’s our take on who’s best, plus a couple other new frozen treats on the scene.

The scoop From the name to the graffiti-inspired splashes of color to the hip-hop videos playing during our visit, this buzzing River North shop is the first of what could become a homegrown mini-empire for “Yogurteur” Michael Farah. Farah’s fro-yo has been certified by the National Yogurt Association as the real deal, meaning it contains healthful live and active cultures.
The skinny One ounce contains 4 grams of carbs, 20 calories and 0 grams of fat.
The verdict The texture is about as good as can be, balancing between light and creamy. But the flavor suggests there might be some added citric acid, bumping up the yogurt’s natural tartness to an almost tongue-tingling, lemonlike taste that would clash with any chocolate-based toppings.

  After reading about them in this week's TOC, I stopped by the Wow Bao at State and Lake... no frozen yogurt on the menu and when I asked about it I was faced with blank stares.
